1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Unassembled (free) heavy chains appear during two stages of the class I MHC molecule's existence: immediately after translation but before assembly with peptide and beta 2-microglobulin, and later, upon disintegration of the heterotrimeric complex. To characterize the structures of folding and degradation intermediates of the class I heavy chain, three monoclonal antibodies have been produced that recognize epitopes along the H-2K(b) heavy chain which are obscured upon proper folding and subsequent assembly with beta 2-microglobulin (KU1: residues 49-54; KU2: residues 23-30; KU4: residues 193-198). The K(b) heavy chain is inserted into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum in an unfolded state reactive with KU1, KU2, and KU4. Shortly after completion of the polypeptide chain, reactivity with KU1, KU2, and KU4 is lost synchronously, suggesting that folding of the class I heavy chain is a rapid, cooperative process. Perturbation of the folding environment in intact cells with the reducing agent dithiothreitol or the trimming glucosidase inhibitor N-7-oxadecyl-deoxynojirimycin prolongs the presence of mAb-reactive K(b) heavy chains. At the cell surface, a pool of free K(b) heavy chains appears after 60-120 min of chase, whose subsequent degradation, but not their initial appearance, is impaired in the presence of concanamycin B, an inhibitor of vacuolar acidification. Thus, free heavy chains that arise at the cell surface are destroyed after internalization.
